C. Duck Anderson & Nate Richert - Tales Of The Road Lyrics

A tumbleweed is tapping
Tapping morse code
A desolate desert
Bares a heavy load
And there's a secret river
Or so I have been told
I tell to you
The tales of the road

When I left my family
Out there on the plains
The dust had just rolled in
From the lack of rain
Seventy years later
I still can't find my home
I tell to you
The tales of the road

I had a girl when I was young
I been drinkin' about her since
No others have matched her beauty
They have all seemed so dense
So I sleep alone now every night
Just shiverin' from the cold
I tell to you
The tales of the road

I've had the same old pair of shoes
Since '45
The last time that I smiled
Was when disco died
I layed this here pavement
That field there I sowed
I tell to you
The tales of the road
